Thanks Tony thats what I had been using for my sheets, but on the stacked bodies, I wasnt having much luck with my scissors. I also suspect I need to look at a better glue as the adhesive I am using doesnt tend to hold well when I cut them.. Ian Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:40:25

Like Tony, I use a metal straight edge a razor knife. I used to have the same problem w/ the glue, or some of them would dissolve the foam. I started using the crafters glue that the gf had haven’t had a problem since. Plus, it stays more flexible. J From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com

It was a swap I really wanted to see. I tied both the Froggie and added a Spring Peeper with each Froggie. Should of been some interesting patterns in that swap. Tony --- On Mon, 4/20/09, Ian Mitchell ff_mi...@hotmail.com wrote: From: Ian Mitchell ff_mi...@hotmail.com Subject: [VFB] Re: Foam
